Comment:
Prof. Bialas is knowledgable about the subject he teaches however his teaching style can be a bit confusing to follow. Uses R a lot in class and lots of self reading. If you are late to class past the first five minutes, he won't accept your hw. You need to listen carefully with his thick accent. Do all the extra credit assignments. It helps!

Gave a lot of extra credit assignments but is a tough grader. Don't take it if you want a decent grade to enhance your GPA. Makes statistics a lot harder with his R thingy

Doesn't give second changes, never takes late homework. If you want to pass this class then don't take it, even if it's the last choice!!!!!!! His accent is thic thic and he sometimes doesn't even know what hes doing in class and gets lost. But one good thing he gives extra credit but it's the hardest thing you'll stumble upon in your student life.

Comment:
He is good by nature/not rude but his accent is heavy which makes it complex to be attentive in class which makes everything 10X more harder and sometimes he gets lost while explaining, he doesn't accept late homeworks at all and no compromises but he does give extra credit work. You can ask him questions if you don't understand but it doesn't help

Has good behavior and provides extra credit assignments but gives a lot of homework and collects homework at the beginning of the class, so if you go late he won't accept it and also his accent makes the material harder even he was confused about certain answers at some moment. therefore if you want to pass with less effort.. don't take this class!

Dont belive the ones at the bottom. I took this course thinking he was concise and open to talk. Nope! He just asks if this makes sense an bolsters on. Doesnt care if 10 ppl are late, qont accept H.w. even if its same day. Shoulda dropped when I had the chance but now I'm stuck. Thank Goodness for the online tutoring course otherwise I'd be done 4

Dont. Better off taking the course and getting a tutor. Chooses to use a program to explain statistics. Didnt explain it well until 2 weeks in. You late for class, h.w. due at beginning. Might as well skip cause you're gettin docked TWO GRADES due to lateness. Trash teacher.

I did all his homework plus extra credits , participated and he still gave me a B+ . Language barrier. Take at your own risk. He uses a computer program to do statistics so beware.

The class is okay, I think that he doesn't use the book at all and that make harder the exams.

He's really a nice professor. He cares a lot about his students and helps them to pass the class, gives lots of extra credit, very few homeworks, tries hard to explain her lessons. An easy class to pass and get an A.

I love this professor! He is VERY clear and meticulous in his lectures. Some people have commented his accent is difficult to understand but I didn't have a problem with that. The class is TOUGH but he gives a LOT of extra credit which I strongly urge you do. If you miss a class, you will be lost. But he gives extremely clear and detailed lectures.

It's a math class, statistics isn't so easy. Because the class was struggling he kept giving us extra credit assignments that we could apply to anything we wanted. He tried his best to make everyone pass and have us understand the material. Sweet man, if you ask for help he explains again. A bit of a thick accent but understandable.

I had a hard time in the class. I am a student who has A's in all my other classes, but this class is very difficult. I do not understand his teachings. When I think i understand, he moves on to another section of the chapter. I wish he would do multiple problems with the same formula. Also, he doesnt go over homework so you don't know what was wrg

Pretty challenging at first, but managed to get ahold of it under his watch. Still don't recommend the way he grades the midterm, however.
